Fans of legendary Welsh poet Dylan Thomas can now celebrate Dylan Thomas Week in style by eating dinner and sleeping in the rooms of the family house where Swansea's most famous son was born.

Dylan Thomas was born in the front bedroom of 5 Cwmdonkin Drive in Swansea, his family home in the Uplands area of the city. The suburban Edwardian house has been restored to look as it was in 1914, when it was bought by the Thomas family.

How can I stay the night?

Best bedroom at 5 Cwmdonkin Drive

Restoration work means you can stay for just one night, or spent a week or more at the house Dylan was born and brought up in.

The house can accommodate up to seven people but when you book, you are hiring the whole house, no matter how many guests are staying, meaning your party will have exclusive use of the house.

The daily rate is £150 for two people. Each additional adult is £50 and additional children are £30. Prices may vary seasonally and self-catering options are available. Rental charges include bed linen, towels and heating and a house tour on arrival or by arrangement.
